TECHNICAL FIELD

This application is directed to tricyclic amine compounds which inhibitcyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and are useful for treating cancer.

BACKGROUND

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of serine/threoninekinases.

Heterodimerized with regulatory subunits known as cyclins, CDKs becomefully activated and regulate key cellular processes including cell cycleprogression and cell division (Morgan, D. O., Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol,1997, 13:261-91). Uncontrolled proliferation is a hallmark of cancercells. The deregulation of the CDK activity is associated with abnormalregulation of cell-cycle, and is detected in virtually all forms ofhuman cancers (Sherr, C. J., Science, 1996, 274(5293):1672-7).

CDK2 is of particular interest because deregulation of CDK2 activityoccurs frequently in a variety of human cancers. CDK2 plays a crucialrole in promoting G1/S transition and S phase progression. In complexwith cyclin E (CCNE), CDK2 phosphorylates retinoblastoma pocket proteinfamily members (p107, p130, pRb), leading to de-repression of E2Ftranscription factors, expression of G1/S transition related genes andtransition from G1 to S phase (Henley, S. A. and F. A. Dick, Cell Div,2012, 7(1):10). This in turn enables activation of CDK2/cyclin A, whichphosphorylates endogenous substrates that permit DNA synthesis,replication and centrosome duplication (Ekholm, S. V. and S. I. Reed,Curr Opin Cell Biol, 2000, 12(6):676-84). It has been reported that theCDK2 pathway influences tumorigenesis mainly through amplificationand/or overexpression of CCNE1 and mutations that inactivate CDK2endogenous inhibitors (e.g., p27), respectively (Xu, X., et al.,Biochemistry, 1999, 38(27):8713-22).

CCNE1 copy-number gain and overexpression have been identified inovarian, gastric, endometrial, breast and other cancers and beenassociated with poor outcomes in these tumors (Keyomarsi, K., et al., NEngl J Med, 2002, 347(20):1566-75; Nakayama, N., et al., Cancer, 2010,116(11):2621-34; Au-Yeung, G., et al., Clin Cancer Res, 2017,23(7):1862-1874; Rosen, D. G., et al., Cancer, 2006, 106(9):1925-32).Amplification and/or overexpression of CCNE1 also reportedly contributeto trastuzumab resistance in HER2+ breast cancer and resistance toCDK4/6 inhibitors in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer(Scaltriti, M., et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2011, 108(9):3761-6;Herrera-Abreu, M. T., et al., Cancer Res, 2016, 76(8):2301-13). Variousapproaches targeting CDK2 have been shown to induce cell cycle arrestand tumor growth inhibition (Chen, Y N., et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA,1999, 96(8):4325-9; Mendoza, N., et al., Cancer Res, 2003,63(5):1020-4). Inhibition of CDK2 also reportedly restores sensitivityto trastuzumab treatment in resistant HER2+ breast tumors in apreclinical model (Scaltriti, supra).

These data provide a rationale for considering CDK2 as potential targetfor new drug development in cancer associated with deregulated CDK2activity. In the last decade there has been increasing interest in thedevelopment of CDK selective inhibitors. Despite significant efforts,there are no approved agents targeting CDK2 to date (Cicenas, J., etal., Cancers (Basel), 2014, 6(4):2224-42). Therefore it remains a needto discover CDK inhibitors having novel activity profiles, in particularthose targeting CDK2. This application is directed to this need andothers.

In some embodiments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 hydrogen atoms, attachedto carbon atoms of “alkyl,” “alkenyl,” “alkynyl,” “aryl,” “phenyl,”“cycloalkyl,” “heterocycloalkyl,” or “heteroaryl” substituents or “—C₁₋₄alkyl-” and “alkylene” linking groups, as described herein, areoptionally replaced by deuterium atoms.

In some embodiments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 hydrogen atoms, attachedto carbon atoms of any “alkyl,” “alkenyl,” “alkynyl,” “aryl,” “phenyl,”“cycloalkyl,” “heterocycloalkyl,” or “heteroaryl” substituents or “—C₁₋₄alkyl-” and “alkylene” linking groups are optionally replaced bydeuterium atoms.

It is further appreciated that certain features of the invention, whichare, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, canalso be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely,various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described inthe context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately orin any suitable subcombination.

At various places in the present specification, divalent linkingsubstituents are described. Unless otherwise specified, it isspecifically intended that each divalent linking substituent includeboth the forward and backward forms of the linking substituent. Forexample, —NR(CR′R″)_(n)— includes both —NR(CR′R″)_(n)— and—(CR′R″)_(n)NR—. Where the structure clearly requires a linking group,the Markush variables listed for that group are understood to be linkinggroups.

The term “n-membered” where n is an integer typically describes thenumber of ring-forming atoms in a moiety where the number ofring-forming atoms is n. For example, piperidinyl is an example of a6-membered heterocycloalkyl ring, pyrazolyl is an example of a5-membered heteroaryl ring, pyridyl is an example of a 6-memberedheteroaryl ring, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene is an example of a10-membered cycloalkyl group.

As used herein, the phrase “optionally substituted” means unsubstitutedor substituted. The substituents are independently selected, andsubstitution may be at any chemically accessible position. As usedherein, the term “substituted” means that a hydrogen atom is removed andreplaced by a substituent. A single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, canreplace two hydrogen atoms. It is to be understood that substitution ata given atom is limited by valency, that the designated atom's normalvalency is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stablecompound.

As used herein, the term “independently selected from” means that eachoccurrence of a variable or substituent are independently selected ateach occurrence from the applicable list.

When any variable (e.g., R^(G)) occurs more than one time in anyconstituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrenceis independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, forexample, if a group is shown to be substituted with 1, 2, 3, or 4 R^(G),then said group may optionally be substituted with up to four R^(G)groups and R^(G) at each occurrence is selected independently from thedefinition of R^(G). Also, combinations of substituents and/or variablesare permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

In some embodiments, when an optionally multiple substituent isdesignated in the form:

then it is to be understood that substituent R can occur p number oftimes on the ring, and R can be a different moiety at each occurrence.It is to be understood that each R group may replace any hydrogen atomattached to a ring atom, including one or both of the (CH₂)_(n) hydrogenatoms. Further, in the above example, should the variable Q be definedto include hydrogens, such as when Q is said to be CH₂, NH, etc., anyfloating substituent such as R in the above example, can replace ahydrogen of the Q variable as well as a hydrogen in any othernon-variable component of the ring.

The tablets or pills of the present disclosure can be coated orotherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage ofprolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an innerdosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of anenvelope over the former. The two components can be separated by anenteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach andpermit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to bedelayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such entericlayers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acidsand mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetylalcohol, and cellulose acetate.

Insome embodiments, ointments can contain water and one or morehydrophobic carriers selected from, for example, liquid paraffin,polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, propylene glycol, white Vaseline, and thelike. Carrier compositions of creams can be based on water incombination with glycerol and one or more other components, e.g.,glycerinemonostearate, PEG-glycerinemonostearate and cetylstearylalcohol. Gels can be formulated using isopropyl alcohol and water,suitably in combination with other components such as, for example,glycerol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the like. In some embodiments,topical formulations contain at least about 0.1, at least about 0.25, atleast about 0.5, at least about 1, at least about 2, or at least about 5wt % of the compound of the disclosure. The topical formulations can besuitably packaged in tubes of, for example, 100 g which are optionallyassociated with instructions for the treatment of the select indication,e.g., psoriasis or other skin condition.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient willvary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of theadministration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of thepatient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeuticapplications, compositions can be administered to a patient alreadysuffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at leastpartially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications.Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated aswell as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending uponfactors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and generalcondition of the patient, and the like.

The compositions administered to a patient can be in the form ofpharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can besterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterilefiltered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, orlyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterileaqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compoundpreparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use ofcertain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers willresult in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

The therapeutic dosage of a compound of the present disclosure can varyaccording to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment ismade, the manner of administration of the compound, the health andcondition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician.The proportion or concentration of a compound of the disclosure in apharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factorsincluding dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), andthe route of administration. For example, the compounds of thedisclosure can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solutioncontaining about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteraladministration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 μg/kg to about1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range isfrom about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. Thedosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent ofprogression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of theparticular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compoundselected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration.Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derivedfrom in vitro or animal model test systems.

The compositions of the disclosure can further include one or moreadditional pharmaceutical agents such as a chemotherapeutic, steroid,anti-inflammatory compound, or immunosuppressant, examples of which arelisted herein.

Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods

Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to labeled compounds ofthe disclosure (radio-labeled, fluorescent-labeled, etc.) that would beuseful not only in imaging techniques but also in assays, both in vitroand in vivo, for localizing and quantitating CDK2 in tissue samples,including human, and for identifying CDK2 activators by inhibitionbinding of a labeled compound. Substitution of one or more of the atomsof the compounds of the present disclosure can also be useful ingenerating differentiated ADME (Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism andExcretion.) Accordingly, the present disclosure includes CDK2 assaysthat contain such labeled or substituted compounds.

The present disclosure further includes isotopically-labeled compoundsof the disclosure. An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compound is acompound of the disclosure where one or more atoms are replaced orsubstituted by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number differentfrom the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature (i.e.,naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated incompounds of the present disclosure include but are not limited to ²H(also written as D for deuterium), ³H (also written as T for tritium),¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br,⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I and ¹³¹I. For example, one or more hydrogenatoms in a compound of the present disclosure can be replaced bydeuterium atoms (e.g., one or more hydrogen atoms of a C₁₋₆ alkyl groupof Formula (I) can be optionally substituted with deuterium atoms, suchas —CD₃ being substituted for —CH₃). In some embodiments, alkyl groupsof the disclosed Formulas (e.g., Formula (I)) can be perdeuterated.

One or more constituent atoms of the compounds presented herein can bereplaced or substituted with isotopes of the atoms in natural ornon-natural abundance. In some embodiments, the compound includes atleast one deuterium atom. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in acompound presented herein can be replaced or substituted by deuterium(e.g., one or more hydrogen atoms of a C₁₋₆ alkyl group can be replacedby deuterium atoms, such as —CD₃ being substituted for —CH₃). In someembodiments, the compound includes two or more deuterium atoms. In someembodiments, the compound includes 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, or 1-6 deuteriumatoms. In some embodiments, all of the hydrogen atoms in a compound canbe replaced or substituted by deuterium atoms.

In some embodiments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 hydrogen atoms, attachedto carbon atoms of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, phenyl, cycloalkyl,heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl substituents or —C₁₋₄ alkyl-, alkylene,alkenylene and alkynylene linking groups, as described herein, areoptionally replaced by deuterium atoms.

Synthetic methods for including isotopes into organic compounds areknown in the art (Deuterium Labeling in Organic Chemistry by Alan F.Thomas (New York, N.Y., Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1971; The Renaissanceof H/D Exchange by Jens Atzrodt, Volker Derdau, Thorsten Fey and JochenZimmermann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 7744-7765; The Organic Chemistryof Isotopic Labelling by James R. Hanson, Royal Society of Chemistry,2011). Isotopically labeled compounds can be used in various studiessuch as NMR spectroscopy, metabolism experiments, and/or assays.

Substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, may affordcertain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolicstability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosagerequirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. (seee.g., A. Kerekes et al. J. Med Chem. 2011, 54, 201-210; R. Xu et al. J.Label Compd. Radiopharm. 2015, 58, 308-312). In particular, substitutionat one or more metabolism sites may afford one or more of thetherapeutic advantages.

The radionuclide that is incorporated in the instant radio-labeledcompounds will depend on the specific application of that radio-labeledcompound. For example, for in vitro CDK2 labeling and competitionassays, compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C, ⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I, ¹³I, or ³⁵S canbe useful. For radio-imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I,¹³¹I, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, or ⁷⁷Br can be useful.

It is understood that a “radio-labeled” or “labeled compound” is acompound that has incorporated at least one radionuclide. In someembodiments, the radionuclide is selected from the group consisting of³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵, ³⁵S, and ⁸²Br.

The present disclosure can further include synthetic methods forincorporating radio-isotopes into compounds of the disclosure. Syntheticmethods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organic compounds are wellknown in the art, and an ordinary skill in the art will readilyrecognize the methods applicable for the compounds of disclosure.

A labeled compound of the disclosure can be used in a screening assay toidentify/evaluate compounds. For example, a newly synthesized oridentified compound (i.e., test compound) which is labeled can beevaluated for its ability to bind activate CDK2 by monitoring itsconcentration variation when contacting with CDK2, through tracking ofthe labeling. For example, a test compound (labeled) can be evaluatedfor its ability to reduce binding of another compound which is known toinhibit CDK2 (i.e., standard compound). Accordingly, the ability of atest compound to compete with the standard compound for binding to CDK2directly correlates to its binding affinity. Conversely, in some otherscreening assays, the standard compound is labeled and test compoundsare unlabeled. Accordingly, the concentration of the labeled standardcompound is monitored in order to evaluate the competition between thestandard compound and the test compound, and the relative bindingaffinity of the test compound is thus ascertained.

Kits

The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutical kits useful, forexample, in the treatment or prevention of CDK2-associated diseases ordisorders (such as, e.g., cancer, an inflammatory disease, acardiovascular disease, or a neurodegenerative disease) which includeone or more containers containing a pharmaceutical compositioncomprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of thedisclosure. Such kits can further include, if desired, one or more ofvarious conventional pharmaceutical kit components, such as, forexample, containers with one or more pharmaceutically acceptablecarriers, additional containers, etc., as will be readily apparent tothose skilled in the art. Instructions, either as inserts or as labels,indicating quantities of the components to be administered, guidelinesfor administration, and/or guidelines for mixing the components, canalso be included in the kit.

Biomarkers and Pharmacodynamics Markers

The disclosure further provides predictive markers (e.g., biomarkers andpharmacodynamic markers, e.g., gene copy number, gene sequence,expression levels, or phosphorylation levels) to identify those humansubjects having, suspected of having, or at risk of developing a diseaseor disorder associated with CDK2 for whom administering a CDK2 inhibitor(“a CDK2 inhibitor” as used herein refers to a compound of thedisclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) is likely tobe effective. The disclosure also provides pharmacodynamic markers(e.g., phosphorylation levels) to identify those human subjects having,suspected of having, or at risk of developing a disease or disorderassociated with CDK2 whom are responding to a CDK2 inhibitor.

The methods are based, at least in part, on the discovery that thefunctional status of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (“CDKN2A”;also referred to as “p16”) is a biomarker for predicting sensitivity toCDK2-targeting therapies in G1/S-specific cyclin-E1- (“CCNE1-”)amplified cells suitable for use in patient stratification. In addition,the present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that,in CCNE1-amplified cell lines, the level of human retinoblastomaassociated protein (“Rb”) phosphorylation at the serine corresponding toamino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 is a pharmacodynamic marker forCDK2 activity and is suitable for use in measuring CDK2 enzymaticactivity in cellular assay or preclinical and clinical applications,such as, e.g., monitoring the progress of or responsiveness to treatmentwith a CDK2 inhibitor.

CCNE1 and p16

CCNE1 and p16 have been identified in the Examples as genes, incombination, useful in predicting responsiveness (e.g., improvement indisease as evidenced by disease remission/resolution) of a subjecthaving a disease or disorder associated with CDK2 to a CDK2 inhibitor.

p16 (also known as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A,cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitor A, multiple tumor suppressor 1, andp16-INK4a) acts as a negative regulator of the proliferation of normalcells by interacting with CDK4 and CDK6. p16 is encoded by the cyclindependent kinase inhibitor 2A (“CDKN2A”) gene (GenBank Accession No.NM_000077). The cytogenic location of the CDKN2A gene is 9p21.3, whichis the short (p) arm of chromosome 9 at position 21.3. The molecularlocation of the CDKN2A gene is base pairs 21,967,752 to 21,995,043 onchromosome 9 (Homo sapiens Annotation Release 109, GRCh38.p12). Geneticand epigenetic abnormalities in the gene encoding p16 are believed tolead to escape from senescence and cancer formation (Okamoto et al.,1994, PNAS 91(23):11045-9). Nonlimiting examples of geneticabnormalities in the gene encoding p16 are described in Table A, below.The amino acid sequence of human p16 is provided below (GenBankAccession No. NP_000068/UniProtKB Accession No. P42771):

CCNE1 is a cell cycle factor essential for the control of the cell cycleat the G1/S transition (Ohtsubo et al., 1995, Mol. Cell. Biol.15:2612-2624). CCNE1 acts as a regulatory subunit of CDK2, interactingwith CDK2 to form a serine/threonine kinase holoenzyme complex. TheCCNE1 subunit of this holoenzyme complex provides the substratespecificity of the complex (Honda et al., 2005, EMBO 24:452-463). CCNE1is encoded by the cyclin E1 (“CCNE1”) gene (GenBank Accession No.NM_001238).

The Examples demonstrate CDK2-knockdown inhibits proliferation ofCCNE1-amplified cell lines, but not of CCNE1-non-amplified cell lines.Conversely, the Examples show that CDK4/6 inhibition inhibitsproliferation of CCNE1-non-amplified cell lines, but not ofCCNE-amplified cell lines. The Examples further demonstrate thatpresence of a normal (e.g., non-mutated or non-deleted) p16 gene isrequired for the observed inhibition of cell proliferation inCCNE1-amplified cells treated with a CDK2-inhibitor. Accordingly, CCNE1and p16 are, together, a combination biomarker: cells that respond totreatment with a CDK2 inhibitor display an amplification of the CCNE1gene and/or an expression level of CCNE1 that is higher than a controlexpression level of CCNE1, and have a nucleotide sequence (e.g., a geneor an mRNA) that encodes the p16 protein (e.g., a p16 protein comprisingthe amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1) and/or have p16 protein present,while control cells that do not respond to treatment with a CDK2inhibitor do not have an amplification of the CCNE1 gene and/or anexpression level of CCNE1 that is higher than a control expression levelof CCNE1, and tend to have a mutated or deleted gene that encodes thep16 protein and/or lack expression of p16 protein.

Thus, the disclosure provides a method of treating a human subjecthaving, suspected of having, or at risk of developing a disease ordisorder associated with CDK2, comprising administering to the humansubject a CDK2 inhibitor, wherein the human subject has been previouslydetermined to: (i) (a) have a nucleotide sequence encoding a p16 proteincomprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, (b) have a CDKN2Agene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acid substitutions and/ordeletions, and/or (c) express a p16 protein, and (ii) (a) have anamplification of the CCNE1 gene and/or (b) have an expression level ofCCNE1 in a biological sample obtained from the human subject that ishigher than a control expression level of CCNE1. In certain embodiments,the predictive methods described herein predict that the subject willrespond to treatment with the CDK2 inhibitor with at least 50%, at least60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least98% or 100% accuracy. For example, in some embodiments, if thepredictive methods described herein are applied to 10 subjects having,suspected of having, or at risk of developing a disease or disorderassociated with CDK2, and 8 of those 10 subjects are predicted torespond to treatment with a CDK2 inhibitor based on a predictive methoddescribed herein, and 7 of those 8 subjects do indeed respond totreatment with a CDK2 inhibitor, then the predictive method has anaccuracy of 87.5% (7 divided by 8). A subject is considered to respondto the CDK2 inhibitor if the subject shows any improvement in diseasestatus as evidenced by, e.g., reduction or alleviation in symptoms,disease remission/resolution, etc.

As described above, the methods related to biomarkers andpharmacodynamic markers can involve, measuring one or more markers(e.g., a biomarker or a pharmacodynamics marker, e.g., the amplificationof the CCNE1 gene, the expression level of CCNE1, the presence of aCDKN2A gene encoding a p16 protein comprising the amino acid sequence ofSEQ ID NO:1, the presence of a CDKN2A gene lacking one or moreinactivating nucleic acid substitutions and/or deletions, the presenceof a p16 protein (e.g., a p16 protein comprising the amino acid sequenceof SEQ ID NO:1), and Rb phosphorylation at the serine corresponding toamino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3) in a biological sample from ahuman subject having, suspected of having or at risk of developing adisease or disorder associated with CDK2. In specific embodiments, thehuman subject has a disease or disorder associated with CDK2. Inspecific embodiments, the human subject is suspected of having or is atrisk of developing a disease or disorder associated with CDK2. Incertain aspects, the level (e.g., amplification (e.g., for the CCNE1gene), expression level (e.g., for CCNE1 or p16 protein), orphosphorylation level (e.g., for Rb)) of one or more biomarkers,compared to a control level of the one or more biomarkers,predicts/indicates the response of a human subject to treatmentcomprising a CDK2 inhibitor. In certain embodiments, when (i) the CCNE1gene is amplified and/or an expression level of CCNE1 that is higherthan a control expression level of CCNE1, and (ii) a CDKN2A geneencoding a p16 protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1is present, a CDKN2A gene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acidsubstitutions and/or deletions is present, and/or a p16 protein (e.g., ap16 protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1) ispresent, the human subject is identified as likely to respond to a CDK2inhibitor. In other embodiments, when (i) the CCNE1 gene is amplifiedand/or an expression level of CCNE1 that is higher than a controlexpression level of CCNE1, and (ii) in a biological sample from thehuman subject after the human subject has been administered a CDK2inhibitor, the level of Rb phosphorylation at the serine correspondingto amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 is less than the control levelof Rb phosphorylation at the serine corresponding to amino acid position780 of SEQ ID NO:3, the human subject is identified as responding to aCDK2 inhibitor. In yet another embodiment, when (i) the CCNE1 gene isamplified and/or an expression level of CCNE1 that is higher than acontrol expression level of CCNE1, (ii) a CDKN2A gene encoding a p16protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is present, aCDKN2A gene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acid substitutionsand/or deletions is present, and/or a p16 protein (e.g., a p16 proteincomprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1) is present, and (iii)in a biological sample from the human subject after the human subjecthas been administered a CDK2 inhibitor, the level of Rb phosphorylationat the serine corresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 isless than the control level of Rb phosphorylation at the serinecorresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3, the humansubject is identified as responding to a CDK2 inhibitor. In thiscontext, the term “control” includes a sample (from the same tissuetype) obtained from a human subject who is known to not respond to aCDK2 inhibitor. The term “control” also includes a sample (from the sametissue type) obtained in the past from a human subject who is known tonot respond to a CDK2 inhibitor and used as a reference for futurecomparisons to test samples taken from human subjects for whichtherapeutic responsiveness is to be predicted. The “control” level(e.g., gene copy number, expression level, or phosphorylation level) fora particular biomarker (e.g., CCNE1, p16, or Rb phosphorylation) in aparticular cell type or tissue may be pre-established by an analysis ofbiomarker level (e.g., expression level or phosphorylation level) in oneor more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40 ormore) human subjects that have not responded to treatment with a CDK2inhibitor. This pre-established reference value (which may be an averageor median level (e.g., gene copy number, expression level, orphosphorylation level) taken from multiple human subjects that have notresponded to the therapy) may then be used for the “control” level ofthe biomarker (e.g., CCNE, p16, or Rb phosphorylation) in the comparisonwith the test sample. In such a comparison, the human subject ispredicted to respond to a CDK2 inhibitor if the CCNE1 gene is amplifiedand/or the expression level of CCNE is higher than the pre-establishedreference, and a CDKN2A gene encoding a p16 protein comprising the aminoacid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is present, a CDKN2A gene lacking one ormore inactivating nucleic acid substitutions and/or deletions ispresent, and/or a p16 protein (e.g., a p16 protein comprising the aminoacid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1) is present. In another such a comparison,the human subject is predicted to respond to a CDK2 inhibitor if (i)CCNE1 gene is amplified and/or the expression level of CCNE is higherthan the pre-established reference, and (ii) after administering to thehuman subject a CDK2 inhibitor, the level of Rb phosphorylation at theserine corresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 is lowerthan the pre-established reference. In yet another such a comparison,the human subject is indicated to respond to a CDK2 inhibitor if (i)CCNE1 gene is amplified and/or the expression level of CCNE is higherthan the pre-established reference, (ii) a CDKN2A gene encoding a p16protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is present, aCDKN2A gene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acid substitutionsand/or deletions is present, and/or a p16 protein (e.g., a p16 proteincomprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1) is present, and (iii)after administering to the human subject a CDK2 inhibitor, the level ofRb phosphorylation at the serine corresponding to amino acid position780 of SEQ ID NO:3 is lower than the pre-established reference.

The “control” level for a particular biomarker in a particular cell typeor tissue may alternatively be pre-established by an analysis ofbiomarker level in one or more human subjects that have responded totreatment with a CDK2 inhibitor. This pre-established reference value(which may be an average or median level (e.g., expression level orphosphorylation level) taken from multiple human subjects that haveresponded to the therapy) may then be used as the “control” level (e.g.,expression level or phosphorylation level) in the comparison with thetest sample. In such a comparison, the human subject is indicated torespond to a CDK2 inhibitor if the level (e.g., copy number of the CCNE1gene, expression level of CCNE1, expression level of p16, orphosphorylation level of Rb at the serine corresponding to amino acidposition 780 of SEQ ID NO:3) of the biomarker being analyzed is equal orcomparable to (e.g., at least 85% but less than 115% of), thepre-established reference.

In certain embodiments, the “control” is a pre-established cut-offvalue. A cut-off value is typically a level (e.g., a copy number, anexpression level, or a phosphorylation level) of a biomarker above orbelow which is considered predictive of responsiveness of a humansubject to a therapy of interest. Thus, in accordance with the methodsand compositions described herein, a reference level (e.g., of CCNE1gene copy number, CCNE1 expression, p16 expression, or Rbphosphorylation at the serine corresponding to amino acid position 780of SEQ ID NO:3) is identified as a cut-off value, above or below ofwhich is predictive of responsiveness to a CDK2 inhibitor. Cut-offvalues determined for use in the methods described herein can becompared with, e.g., published ranges of concentrations but can beindividualized to the methodology used and patient population.

In some embodiments, the expression level of CCNE1 is increased ascompared to the expression level of CCNE1 in a control. For example, theexpression level of CCNE1 analyzed can be at least 1.5, at least 2, atleast 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, atleast 9, at least 10, at least 20, at least 25, at least 50, at least75, or at least 100 times higher, or at least 10%, at least 20%, atleast 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, atleast 80%, at least 90%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 300%, atleast 400%, at least 500%, at least 600%, at least 700%, at least 800%,at least 900%, at least 1,000%, at least 1,500%, at least 2,000%, atleast 2,500%, at least 3,000%, at least 3,500%, at least 4,000%, atleast 4,500%, or at least 5,000% higher, than the expression level ofCCNE1 in a control.

A p16 protein is present if the protein is detectable by any assay knownin the art or described herein, such as, for example, western blot,immunohistochemistry, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, andenzyme-linked immunoassay. In some embodiments, a p16 protein is presentat an expression level that is within at least 5%, at least 10%, atleast 20%, or at least 30% of the p16 expression level in a healthycontrol.

In some embodiments, the level of Rb phosphorylation at the serinecorresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 being analyzedis reduced as compared to the level of Rb phosphorylation at the serinecorresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 in a control.For example, the level of the Rb phosphorylation at the serinecorresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 being analyzedcan be at least 1.5, at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, atleast 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 20,at least 25, at least 50, at least 75, or at least 100 times lower, orat least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, atleast 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or 100% lower, thanthe level of Rb phosphorylation at the serine corresponding to aminoacid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 in a control.

Biological Samples

Suitable biological samples for the methods described herein include anysample that contains blood or tumor cells obtained or derived from thehuman subject in need of treatment. For example, a biological sample cancontain tumor cells from biopsy from a patient suffering from a solidtumor. A tumor biopsy can be obtained by a variety of means known in theart. Alternatively, a blood sample can be obtained from a patientssuffering from a hematological cancer.

A biological sample can be obtained from a human subject having,suspected of having, or at risk of developing, a disease or disorderassociated with CDK2. In some embodiments, the disease or disorderassociated with CDK2 is a cancer (such as those described supra).

Methods for obtaining and/or storing samples that preserve the activityor integrity of molecules (e.g., nucleic acids or proteins) in thesample are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, abiological sample can be further contacted with one or more additionalagents such as buffers and/or inhibitors, including one or more ofnuclease, protease, and phosphatase inhibitors, which preserve orminimize changes in the molecules in the sample.

Evaluating Biomarkers and Pharmacodynamic Markers

Expression levels of CCNE1 or p16 can be detected as, e.g., RNAexpression of a target gene (i.e., the genes encoding CCNE1 or p16).That is, the expression level (amount) of CCNE1 or p16 can be determinedby detecting and/or measuring the level of mRNA expression of the geneencoding CCNE1. Alternatively, expression levels of CCNE1 or p16 can bedetected as, e.g., protein expression of target gene (i.e., the genesencoding CCNE1 or p16). That is, the expression level (amount) of CCNE1or p16 can be determined by detecting and/or measuring the level ofprotein expression of the genes encoding CCNE1 or p16.

In some embodiments, the expression level of CCNE1 or p16 is determinedby measuring RNA levels. A variety of suitable methods can be employedto detect and/or measure the level of mRNA expression of a gene. Forexample, mRNA expression can be determined using Northern blot or dotblot analysis, reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR; e.g., quantitativeRT-PCR), in situ hybridization (e.g., quantitative in situhybridization), nucleic acid array (e.g., oligonucleotide arrays or genechips) and RNA sequencing analysis. Details of such methods aredescribed below and in, e.g., Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: ALaboratory Manual Second Edition vol. 1, 2 and 3. Cold Spring HarborLaboratory Press: Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., USA, November 1989; Gibsonet al. (1999) Genome Res., 6(10):995-1001; and Zhang et al. (2005)Environ. Sci. Technol., 39(8):2777-2785; U.S. Publication No.2004086915; European Patent No. 0543942; and U.S. Pat. No. 7,101,663;Kukurba et al. (2015) Cold Spring Harbor Protocols., 2015 (11): 951-69;the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference intheir entirety.

In one example, the presence or amount of one or more discrete mRNApopulations in a biological sample can be determined by isolating totalmRNA from the biological sample (see, e.g., Sambrook et al. (supra) andU.S. Pat. No. 6,812,341) and subjecting the isolated mRNA to agarose gelelectrophoresis to separate the mRNA by size. The size-separated mRNAsare then transferred (e.g., by diffusion) to a solid support such as anitrocellulose membrane. The presence or amount of one or more mRNApopulations in the biological sample can then be determined using one ormore detectably-labeled-polynucleotide probes, complementary to the mRNAsequence of interest, which bind to and thus render detectable theircorresponding mRNA populations. Detectable-labels include, e.g.,fluorescent (e.g., umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluoresceinisothiocyanate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansylchloride, allophycocyanin, or phycoerythrin), luminescent (e.g.,europium, terbium, Qdot™ nanoparticles supplied by the Quantum DotCorporation, Palo Alto, Calif.), radiological a (e.g., 125I, 131I, 35S,32P, 33P, or 3H), and enzymatic (horseradish peroxidase, alkalinephosphatase, beta-galactosidase, or acetylcholinesterase) labels.

In some embodiments, the expression level of CCNE1 or p16 is determinedby measuring protein levels. A variety of suitable methods can beemployed to detect and/or measure the level of protein expression oftarget genes. For example, CCNE1 or p16 protein expression can bedetermined using western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(“ELISA”), fluorescence activated cell sorting, or immunohistochemistryanalysis (e.g., using a CCNE1-specific or p16-specific antibody,respectively). Details of such methods are described below and in, e.g.,Sambrook et al., supra.

In one example, the presence or amount of one or more discrete proteinpopulations (e.g., CCNE1 or p16) in a biological sample can bedetermined by western blot analysis, e.g., by isolating total proteinfrom the biological sample (see, e.g., Sambrook et al. (supra)) andsubjecting the isolated protein to agarose gel electrophoresis toseparate the protein by size. The size-separated proteins are thentransferred (e.g., by diffusion) to a solid support such as anitrocellulose membrane. The presence or amount of one or more proteinpopulations in the biological sample can then be determined using one ormore antibody probes, e.g., a first antibody specific for the protein ofinterest (e.g., CCNE1 or p16), and a second antibody, detectablylabeled, specific for the first antibody, which binds to and thusrenders detectable the corresponding protein population.Detectable-labels suitable for use in western blot analysis are known inthe art.

Methods for detecting or measuring gene expression (e.g., mRNA orprotein expression) can optionally be performed in formats that allowfor rapid preparation, processing, and analysis of multiple samples.This can be, for example, in multi-welled assay plates (e.g., 96 wellsor 386 wells) or arrays (e.g., nucleic acid chips or protein chips).Stock solutions for various reagents can be provided manually orrobotically, and subsequent sample preparation (e.g., RT-PCR, labeling,or cell fixation), pipetting, diluting, mixing, distribution, washing,incubating (e.g., hybridization), sample readout, data collection(optical data) and/or analysis (computer aided image analysis) can bedone robotically using commercially available analysis software,robotics, and detection instrumentation capable of detecting the signalgenerated from the assay. Examples of such detectors include, but arenot limited to, spectrophotometers, luminometers, fluorimeters, anddevices that measure radioisotope decay. Exemplary high-throughputcell-based assays (e.g., detecting the presence or level of a targetprotein in a cell) can utilize ArrayScan® VTI HCS Reader or KineticScan®HCS Reader technology (Cellomics Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa.).

In some embodiments, the presence of a CDKN2A gene encoding a p16protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and/or thepresence of a CDKN2A gene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acidsubstitutions and/or deletions is determined by evaluating the DNAsequence of the CDKN2A gene (e.g., genomic DNA or cDNA) or by evaluatingthe RNA sequence of the CDKN2A gene (e.g., RNA, e.g., mRNA). Methods ofperforming nucleic acid sequencing analyses are known in the art anddescribed above. Nonlimiting examples of inactivating nucleic acidsubstitutions and/or deletions preventing the CDKN2A gene from encodinga protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 aredescribed in Table A, above. In specific embodiments, the one or moreinactivating nucleic acid substitutions and/or deletions in the CDKN2Agene is as described in Yarbrough et al., Journal of the National CancerInstitute, 91(18):1569-1574, 1999; Liggett and Sidransky, Biology ofNeoplasia, Journal of Oncology, 16(3):1197-1206, 1998, and Cairns etal., Nature Genetics, 11:210-212, 1995, each of which is incorporated byreference herein in its entirety.

In some embodiments, the expression level of a gene or the presence of agene lacking one or more inactivating nucleic acid substitutions ordeletions is determined by evaluating the copy number variation (CNV) ofthe gene. The CNV of genes (e.g., the CCNE1 gene and/or the CDKN2A gene)can be determined/identified by a variety of suitable methods. Forexample, CNV can be determined using fluorescent in situ hybridization(FISH), multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA), arraycomparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), single-nucleotidepolymorphisms (SNP) array, and next-generation sequencing (NGS)technologies.

In one example, the copy number variation of one or more discrete genesin a biological sample can be determined by MLPA, e.g., by extractingDNA specimens from the biological sample (see, e.g., Sambrook et al.(supra) and U.S. Pat. No. 6,812,341), and amplifying DNA sequence ofinterest (e.g., CCNE1 or CDKN2A) using a mixture of MLPA probes. EachMLPA probe consists of two oligonucleotides that hybridize toimmediately adjacent target DNA sequence (e.g., CCNE1 or CDKN2A) inorder to be ligated into a single probe. Ligated probes are amplifiedthough PCR with one PCR primer fluorescently labeled, enabling theamplification products to be visualized during fragment separation bycapillary electrophoresis. The presence, absence or amplification of oneor more genes of interest in the biological sample is calculated bymeasuring PCR derived fluorescence, quantifying the amount of PCRproduct after normalization and comparing it with control DNA samples.

The level of Rb phosphorylation at the serine corresponding to aminoacid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 can be detected by a variety ofsuitable methods. For example, phosphorylation status can be determinedusing western blot, ELISA, fluorescence activated cell sorting, orimmunohistochemistry analysis. Details of such methods are describedbelow and in, e.g., Sambrook et al., supra.

As with the methods for detecting or measuring gene expression (above),methods for detecting or measuring the level of Rb phosphorylation atthe serine corresponding to amino acid position 780 of SEQ ID NO:3 canoptionally be performed in formats that allow for rapid preparation,processing, and analysis of multiple samples.

The invention will be described in greater detail by way of specificexamples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes,and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those ofskill in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-criticalparameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially thesame results.

The reactions are stopped by the additionof EDTA and Europium-labeled anti-phospho-4E-BP1 antibody (PerkinElmer),for a final concentration of 15 mM and 1.5 nM, respectively. HTRFsignals are read after 1 hour at room temperature on a PHERAstar FSplate reader (BMG Labtech). Data is analyzed with IDBS XLFit andGraphPad Prism 5.0 software using a three or four parameter doseresponse curve to determine IC₅₀ for each compound. The IC₅₀ data asmeasured for the Examples at 1 mM ATP in the assay of Example A is shownin Table 1.

Example B1. Characterization of Cyclin E1 in Ovarian and EndometrialCancer Cell Lines

The cyclin E1 (“CCNE1”) gene was evaluated in various ovarian andendometrial cancer cell lines (FIGS. 1A and 1). CCNE1 was amplified inCOV318, OVCAR3 OVARY, Fu-OV1, and KLE cells, each of which displayed aCCNE1 gain of function by copy number (copy number (“CN”)>2) (FIG. 1A).In contrast, CCNE1 was not amplified in COV504, OV56, or Igrov1 cells,each of which displayed copy neutral (2) or loss of function of the gene(CN≤2). CN was obtained from the Broad Institute Cancer Cell LineEncyclopedia (“CCLE”) database (Barretina, et al., Nature, 2012,483(7391):603-7, which is incorporated herein by reference in itsentirety).

Western blot analysis was performed on protein samples from COV318,OVCAR3_OVARY, Fu-OV1, KLE, COV504, OV56, and Igrov1 cells to evaluateCCNE1 protein levels. CCNE1 protein levels were higher in cell lineswith CCNE1 gain of function by copy number (CN>2; i.e., COV318, OVCAR3OVARY, Fu-OV1, and KLE cells) compared to cell lines with copy neutralor loss of function of the gene (CN≤2; i.e., COV504, OV56, and Igrov1cells).

Example B2. CDK2-Knockdown by siRNA Inhibits Proliferation inCCNE1-Amplified, but not CCNE1-Non-Amplified Human Cancer Cell Lines

The effect of CDK2-knockdown in CCNE1-amplified versusCCNE1-non-amplified cell lines was evaluated. CCNE1-amplified cell lines(Fu-OV1 and KLE) or CCNE1-non-amplified cell lines (COV504 and Igrov1)were treated with a control (“ctrl”) or CDK2-specific small interferingRNAs (“siRNAs”) (“CDK2 siRNA-1” and “CDK2 siRNA-2”) (FIGS. 2A and 2B and3A and 3B). Seventy-two hours after transfection with the siRNAs, thecells were harvested and subjected to cell cycle analysis byfluorescence activated cell sorting (“FACS”) (FIGS. 2A and 3A).Knockdown of CDK2 was confirmed by western blot (FIGS. 2B and 3B).CDK2-knockdown inhibited proliferation in CCNE1-amplified cell lines,but not in CCNE1-non-amplified cell lines (FIGS. 2A and 3A).

A similar experiment was performed in additional CCNE1-amplified celllines (COV318, OVCAR3, Fu-OV1, and KLE) and CCNE1-non-amplified celllines (COV504, OV56, and Igrov1) (FIG. 4). The percentage of cells atthe S phase three days after treatment with CDK2-specific siRNAs wassignificantly decreased in CCNE1-amplified cell lines as compared totreatment with control siRNA (FIG. 4). Consistent with the results ofFIGS. 2A and 3A, the percentage of cells at the S phase three days aftertreatment with CDK2-specific siRNAs was not significantly different inCCNE1-non-amplified cell lines as compared to treatment with controlsiRNA (FIG. 4).

Example B3. Proliferation in CCNE1 Amplified and CCNE-Non-Amplified CellLines Upon CDK4/6 Inhibition

The effect of CDK4/6-inhibition in CCNE1-amplified versusCCNE1-non-amplified cell lines was evaluated. CCNE1-amplified cells(OVCAR3) or CCNE1-non-amplified cells (COV504) were treated withdimethyl sulfoxide (“DMSO”) control or increasing concentrations ofCDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (FIG. 5). Sixteen hours after treatmentwith DMSO or palbociclib, the cells were harvested and subjected to cellcycle analysis by FACS (FIG. 5). CDK4/6-inhibition resulted indose-dependent inhibition of the proliferation in CCNE1-non-amplifiedcells, but not in CCNE1-amplified cells (FIG. 5).

A similar experiment was performed in a larger set of CCNE1-amplifiedcell lines (COV318 and OVCAR3) and CCNE1-non-amplified cell lines(COV504, OV56, and Igrov1) (FIG. 6). The percentage of cells at the Sphase 16 hours after treatment with palbociclib was decreased inCCNE1-non-amplified cell lines in a dose-dependent fashion as comparedto treatment with DMSO (FIG. 6). Consistent with the results of FIG. 5,the percentage of cells at the S phase 16 hours after treatment withpalbociclib was not significantly different in CCNE1-amplified celllines as compared to treatment with DMSO (FIG. 6).

Example B4. CDK2-Knockdown Blocks Rb Phosphorylation at S780 inCCNE1-Amplified, but not in CCNE1-Non-Amplified, Cell Lines

The effect of CDK2-knockdown on Rb phosphorylation at Ser-780 of SEQ IDNO:3 (“S780”) in CCNE1-amplified versus CCNE1-non-amplified cell lineswas evaluated. CCNE1-amplified cell lines (COV318, Fu-OV1 and KLE) orCCNE1-non-amplified cell lines (COV504, OV56 and Igrov1) were treatedwith ctrl or CDK2-specific siRNAs (FIGS. 7A and 7B). 72 hours aftertransfection with the siRNAs, the cells were harvested and total proteinwas extracted and analyzed by western blot. Knockdown of CDK2 wasconfirmed by western blot. CDK2-knockdown blocked Rb phosphorylation atS780 in CCNE1-amplified cell lines (FIG. 7A), but not inCCNE-non-amplified cell lines (FIG. 7B).

Example B5. Palbociclib Blocks Rb Phosphorylation at S780 in CCNE1Non-Amplified, but not in CCNE1-Amplified, Cell Lines

The effect of CDK4/6-inhibition on Rb phosphorylation at S780 inCCNE1-amplified versus CCNE1-non-amplified cell lines was evaluated.CCNE1-amplified cell lines (OVCAR3 and COV318) or CCNE1-non-amplifiedcell lines (COV504 and OV56) were treated with DMSO or various doses ofpalbociclib (FIGS. 8A and 8B). One or 15 hours after treatment, thecells were harvested and total protein was extracted and analyzed bywestern blot (FIG. 8). Palbociclib treatment blocked Rb phosphorylationat S780 in CCNE1-non-amplified cell lines (FIG. 8B), but not inCCNE1-amplified cell lines (FIG. 8A).

Example B6. CDK2 Degradation by dTAG Decreases Rb Phosphorylation atS780

To further confirm that CDK2 knockdown decreases Rb phosphorylation atS780 in CCNE1-amplified cells (see Example B4), the dTAG system was usedto degrade CDK2 and the level of S780-phosphorylated Rb was evaluated(Erb et al., Nature, 2017, 543(7644):270-274, which is incorporatedherein by reference in its entirety). Briefly, OVCAR3 cells wereengineered to express Cas9 by lentiviral transduction of Cas9 construct.The OVCAR3-Cas9 cells were then engineered to express CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HAfusion protein by lentiviral transduction of CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HAexpression construct. Next, to engineer the line to have endogenous CDK2inactivated, OVCAR3 (Cas9, CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA) cells were transducedwith CDK2 sgRNA (“CDK2-gRNA”); OVCAR3 (Cas9, CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA) cellstransduced with non-targeting sgRNA (“Ctl-gRNA”; Cellecta) served as acontrol cell line.

To degrade CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA protein by dTAG (FIG. 9A), cells weretreated with DMSO or with a titration of concentrations of dTAG for 14hours. Cells were collected and processed for Western blot (FIG. 9B). Adose-responsive degradation of CDK2-FKBP12(F36V) was detected by westernblot after treatment with dTAG in both control- and CDK2-gRNA treatedcells (FIG. 9B). Degradation was further confirmed by western blot forHA-Tag. Endogenous CDK2 protein was detected in OVCAR3 cells treatedwith control gRNA, but not with CDK2-gRNA (FIG. 9B). CDK2-FKBP12(F36V)degradation inhibited Rb phosphorylation at S780 in CDK2 knockout OVCAR3cells, but not in OVCAR3 cells with endogenous CDK2 expression.

Example B7. p-Rb S780 HTRF Cellular Assay for Identification of CDK2Inhibitors

An in vitro CDK2/CCNE1 enzyme activity assay was used to measurephosphorylation of a peptide substrate using homogenous time-resolvedenergy transfer (“HTRF”). First, the specificity of8-((1R,2R)-2-hydroxy-2-methylcyclopentyl)-2-((1-(methylsulfonyl)piperidin-4-yl)amino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one(Compound A; see US Patent Application Publication No. 2018/0044344 atpage 51, paragraph [0987], which is incorporated by reference herein inits entirety) for CDK2 inhibition was confirmed via a kinase activityassay (FIG. 10A). To this end, the LANCE® Ultra kinase assay was usedwith a ULight™-labeled EIF4E-binding protein 1 (Thr37/46) peptide(PerkinElmer, TRF0128-M) as substrate and an Europium-labeledanti-phospho-EIF4E binding protein1 (Thr37/46) antibody (PerkinElmer,TRF0216-M). A ratio of fluorescence transferred to the labeled substrate(665 nm) relative to fluorescence of the Europium donor (620 nm)represents the extent of phosphorylation. The IC₅₀ for Compound A wasdetermined to be 1.1 nM (FIG. 10A). In contrast, the IC₅₀ for the CDK4/6inhibitor palbociclib was 10,000 nM (FIG. 10A).

Next, a CDK2 pRb (5780) HTRF cellular assay was performed, enabling thequantitative detection of Rb phosphorylated on serine 780 in CCNE1amplified COV318 cells upon treatment with Compound A or palbociclib(FIG. 10B). Treatment with Compound A, but not palbociclib, inhibited Rbphosphorylation on serine 780 in CCNE1 amplified cells (FIG. 10B). TheIC₅₀ for Compound A in this assay was 37 nM, while the IC₅₀ forpalbociclib was >3,000 nM (FIG. 10B).

Example B8. Bioinformatics Analysis of CCLE Dataset Reveals theSensitivity to CDK2 Inhibition in CCNE1 Amplified Cells Relies onFunctional p16

In an attempt to identify a biomarker for predicting sensitivity toCDK2-inhibition in CCNE1-amplified cells, 460 cell lines from CCLE wereanalyzed (Barretina, supra). First, the cell lines were filtered basedon CCNE1 copy number and expression and CDK2 sensitive score based onshRNA knockdown data. A total of 41 cell lines were identified as havingCCNE1 copy number of >3 and CCNE1 expression score (CCLE: >3). Of these41 cell lines, 18 (44%) were sensitive to CDK2 inhibition (CDK2sensitive score ≤−3), while 23 (56%) were insensitive to CDK2 inhibition(CDK2 sensitive score >−3).

Next, the p16 status was evaluated in the CDK2-sensitive andCDK2-insensitive cell lines (FIG. 11). Of the 18 cell lines that weresensitive to CDK2-inhibition, 100% expressed normal p16 gene (FIG. 11).In contrast, only 4 of the 23 CDK2-insensitive cell lines expressednormal p16 gene (FIG. 11). The majority of the 23 CDK2-insensitive celllines displayed dysfunctional p16 gene expression: the p16 gene wasdeleted in 10 of 23 cell lines; the p16 gene was silenced in 5 of the 23cell lines, and the p16 gene was mutated in 4 of the 23 cell lines (FIG.11).

A summary of CDK2 sensitivity and CDKN2A/p16 status in CCNE1 amplifiedcell lines is provided in Table 2, below.

Example B9. CCNE1 Amplified Cells with Dysfunctional p16 do not Respondto CDK2 Inhibition

To further evaluate the role of p16 in CDK2-sensitivity inCCNE-amplified cells, p16 protein expression in three gastric cell lineswith CCNE1-amplification was evaluated by western blot. AGS and NCI-N87cells displayed absent or dramatically reduced levels of p16 (FIG. 12A).In contrast, p16 protein was detected in MKN1 cellular protein extracts(FIG. 12A).

Next, the impact of CDK2-knockdown in these cells was evaluated. Mkn1,Ags, and NCI-N87 cells were treated with control or CDK2-specific siRNA.Three days-post-siRNA transfection, cell cycle phase distribution of thecells was evaluated by FACS. The percentage of cells at the S phase inthe Mkn cells (CCNE-amplified, p16 protein detected) was significantlydecreased in the CDK2 siRNA-treated cells as compared to control (FIG.12B). In contrast, the percentage of cells at the S phase was notsignificantly decreased in Ags and NCI-N87 cells (CCNE1-amplified,dysfunctional p16 protein levels) after treatment with CDK2 siRNA ascompared to control (FIG. 12B).

Example B10. p16 Knockdown by siRNA Abolishes CDK2 Inhibition InducedCell Cycle Suppression in CCNE1 Amplified Cells

To confirm the role of p16 in CDK2-sensitivity of CCNE-amplified cells,COV318 cells were treated with control or p16-specific siRNA.Seventy-two hours after transfection, cells were treated with DMSO(control) or 100 nM of Compound A. Sixteen hours after treatment withDMSO or the CDK2-inhibitor, cells were harvested and subjected to cellcycle analysis by FACS. Consistent with the results described above, thepercentage of S phase cells significantly decreased in the controlsiRNA-treated cells treated with CDK2-inhibitor (Compound A), but notwith the DMSO control (FIG. 13). In contrast, the percentage of S phasecells was not significantly decreased after treatment with theCDK2-inhibitor (Compound A) in p16 knocked down cells as compared toDMSO control (FIG. 13).

The complete growth medium wassupplemented with 10% FBS, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, 2 mML-glutamine, 100 units/mL penicillin G and 100 μg/mL streptomycin in 37°C. humidified incubator and an atmosphere of 5% CO₂ in air. Fu-OV1 linewas purchased from Leibniz-Institute DSMZ—German Collection ofMicroorganisms and Cell Cultures; MKN1 was purchased from JapaneseCancer Research Resources Bank; and the rest of cell lines werepurchased from American Type Culture Collection. For transfection, cellswere seeded into 6-well for 24 hours and transiently transfected byLipofectamine 2000 Reagent (Thermo Fisher, 11668027). ON-TARGETplusHuman CKD2 siRNAs (GE Healthcare Dharmacon, J-003236-11-0002 andJ-003236-12-0002) and ON-TARGETplus Human CDKN2A/p16 siRNAs (GEHealthcare Dharmacon, J-011007-08-0002) were used to knockdown theendogenous CDK2 and CDKN2A/p16. ON-TARGETplus Non-targeting Pool (GEHealthcare Dharmacon, D-001810-10-20) was used as a negative control.

Western Blot Analysis

Whole cell extracts were prepared using RIPA buffer (Thermo Scientific,89900) with a Halt Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail (ThermoScientific, 78440). Protein concentration was quantified with a BCAProtein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific, 23225) and 40 g of protein lysateswere loaded for SDS-PAGE using precast gradient gels (Bio-Rad, Hercules,No. 456-1094). Samples were diluted in 5× Laemmli buffer (300 mMTris-HCl pH 6.8, 10% SDS (w/v), 5% 2-mercaptoethanol, 25% glycerol(v/v), 0.1% bromophenol blue w/v) and boiled for 5 minutes. 35 g ofproteins were separated by 8-15% SDS-PAGE and transferred ontopolyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. Unspecific binding sites onthe PVDF membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk in TBST (20 mMTris-HCl, pH 7.6, 137 mM NaCl, 1% Tween-20). Membranes were hybridizedwith antibodies against anti-CDKN2A/p16 (Cell Signaling Technology,92803S), anti-Cas9 (Cell Signaling Technology, 97982S), anti-HA (CellSignaling Technology, 3724S), anti-Rb (Cell Signaling Technology,9309S), anti-phospho-Rb (Ser780) (Cell Signaling Technology, 8180S),anti-CDK2 (Cell Signaling Technology, 2546S), anti-CCNE1 (Cell SignalingTechnology, 20808S) and anti-GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, 8884S)for overnight at 4° C., followed by incubation with horseradishperoxidase(HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 hour at roomtemperature. The membranes were then developed using Immobilon Westernchemiluminescence HRP substrates (Millipore, WBKLS0500). Images werecaptured by Luminescence/Fluorescence Imaging System Odyssey CLx Imager(LI-COR).

Cell Cycle Analysis

Cells were seeded in six-well tissue culture plates and 24 hours laterwere treated with a titration of concentrations of Palbociclib orCompound A. After overnight treatment, cells exposed to 10 M EdU for 3hours before detection of EdU-DNA by Click-iT AlexaFluor® 647 azide kit(Life Technology, C10424) following the manufacturer's instructions.Bulk DNA was stained with DAPI. Compound-treated and DMSO treatedcontrol cells were acquired with CytoFlex (Beckman Coulter) and wereanalyzed using the FlowJo software. For cell cycle analysis of cellswith siRNA knockdown, 72 hours after siRNA transfection, cells exposedto 10 M EdU for 3 hours before detection of Click-iT Alexa Fluor® 647azide kit.

These changes did not change amino acids encoded.

Lentivirus Production

Production of lentivirus was performed in 293T cells by co-transfectionof Lentiviral Packaging Mix (Sigma, SHP001), and a given lentiviralexpression plasmid using Lipofectamine 2000. Viral supernatants werecollected 48 and 72 hours after transfection, filtered through a 0.22 μmmembrane. All cells lines were transduced by spinoculation at 2000revolutions per minute (rpm) for 1 hour at room temperature with 8 μg/mLpolybrene (Santa Cruz, sc-134220).

CDK2-dTAG Cells

OVCAR3 cells were first engineered to express Cas9 by lentiviraltransduction of Cas9 construct. Cells were selected and maintained in100 μg/mL hygromycin (Life Technologies, 10687010) and verified toexpress Cas9 by immunoblot. OVCAR3-Cas9 cells were then engineered toexpress CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA fusion protein by lentiviral transduction ofCDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA expression construct and selection with 2 μg/mLpuromycin dihydrochloride (Life Technologies, A1113803). Expression ofCDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA was verified by immunoblot using anti-CDK2 andanti-HA antibodies. Next, to engineer the line to have endogenous CDK2inactivated, OVCAR3 (Cas9, CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA) cells were transducedwith CDK2 sgRNA and selected by 50 μg/mL Zeocin (Life Technologies,R25001). Inactivated expression of endogenous CDK2 in the expandedclones was tested by immunoblotting. OVCAR3 (Cas9, CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA)cells transduced with non-targeting sgRNA (Cellecta) were served as acontrol cell line.

To degrade CDK2-FKBP12F36V-HA protein by dTAG, 200,000 cells were seededin 1 mL media in triplicate in a 24-well plate and treated with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or with a titration of concentrations of dTAG for 14hours. Cells were collected and processed for Western blot.

CDK2 CCNE1 Enzymatic Assay

In vitro CDK2/CCNE1 enzyme activity assay measures phosphorylation of apeptide substrate using homogeneous time-resolved energy transfer(HTRF). The LANCE® Ultra kinase assay used a ULight™-labeledEIF4E-binding protein 1 (Thr37/46) peptide (PerkinElmer, TRF0128-M) assubstrate and an Europium-labeled anti-phospho-EIF4E binding protein1(Thr37/46) antibody (PerkinElmer, TRF0216-M). A ratio of fluorescencetransferred to the labeled substrate (665 nm) relative to fluorescenceof the Europium donor (620 nm) represents the extent of phosphorylation.Ratios for treated wells are normalized to DMSO only (100% activity) andno enzyme (0% activity) controls. Normalized data is analyzed using afour parameter dose response curve to determine IC₅₀ for each compound.

CDK2 pRb (S780) HTRF Cellular Assay

CDK2 pRb (5780) HTRF cellular assay enables the quantitative detectionof Rb phosphorylated on serine 780 in CCNE1 amplified COV318 cells. Theassay comprised two antibodies: Europium cryptate labeledanti-Phospho-Rb S780 antibody (donor) and d2 labeled anti-Rb antibody(acceptor). In brief, COV318 cells were seeded into the wells of 96-wellplate at a density of 25,000 per well with 9-point, 3-fold serialdiluted compounds and cultured overnight at 37 degree with 5% CO₂. Thefinal concentrations of compounds start from 3 μM. The next day cellswere lysed in 70 μL 1× Phospho-total protein lysis buffer #2 (Cisbio),supplemented with 0.7 μL blocking buffer (Cisbio) and 1.4 μL proteaseinhibitor cocktail set III, EDTA-free (Calbiochem, 539134). 16 μL ofcell lysates were mixed with 4 μL of the fluorophore-conjugatedantibodies to a final concentration of 0.188 nM cryptate-labeledanti-Phospho-Rb S780 antibody and 0.14 nM d2 labeled anti-Rb antibody.After 2 h of incubation at room temperature, HTRF signals were measuredon the PHERAstar microplate reader (BMG Labtech), using 340 nm asexcitation wavelength, a 620 nm filter for the Europium donorfluorescence, and a 665-nm filter for the acceptor fluorescencedetection. HTRF signals were calculated as the HTRF ratio (ratio offluorescence measured at 665 nm and 620 nm)×10000.
